<p>Paul Sacco says searching for his missing daughter feels like something akin to bleeding out. All the hope, heartache and anxiety that go into it leave him feeling diminished. But the Colorado lawyer and amateur guitarist has managed to bottle up some of that energy, spending hundreds of hours creating what is both a tribute to Aubrey Sacco and a monument to his sorrow: a 14-song album he has published to Internet vendors.</p>

<p>Together Barrie and Star the Duck collect on average £200 a day by visiting businesses around Devon and have already raised £6,500 for a local children's hospice. However the duo's fundraising days could be numbered after being told they must apply 28 days in advance for a single day's permit- restricting them to collecting just one day a month.</p>

<p>On Monday, 4 June 2012, I was sitting on my porch, alternating between reading about information theory and Ursula K. le Guinn’s “The Dispossessed”, when the police showed up. It turned out that Darryl had called them on me; he would later admit to being a serial informant. In the search of the premises that followed, the police confiscated 3.2 ounces of cannabis and paraphernalia.</p>

<p>This is an amazing article for us anti-government people to get behind. If you're an atheist I think you will still greatly appreciate it, but just ignore the Jewish stuff, this article is targeted to a Jewish audience.</p>
<p>The key point is that these folks used voluntarist means to fight child slavery and provide an education to the unwashed masses without the use of government. I'm sure you'll appreciate it.</p>

<p>OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — The young father stood in line at the Kmart layaway counter, wearing dirty clothes and worn-out boots. With him were three small children.</p>
<p>He asked to pay something on his bill because he knew he wouldn't be able to afford it all before Christmas. Then a mysterious woman stepped up to the counter.</p>
